Fish and Brewis

The easiest way I can explain this recipe
is to give you the recipe that is directly from Purity, the makers of the
bread. This is a very common dish in Newfoundland

To prepare the Brewis

Split the cakes of the Hard Bread, allowing
one cake per person. In a large Saucepan place the Hard Bread, well covered
with water. Soak overnight. The next day
using the same water, salt to taste and bring Bread to a near boil. DO NOT
BOIL, DRAIN IMMEDIATELY. Keep Hot.

To Prepare Salt Fish

Use Skin dried salt fish. Cut the fish into
serving pieces, cover with cold water and soak overnight. The next day change the water and bring to
boil for 20 mins or until the fish flakes with a fork. To add scrunchions , find diced salt pork and fry until golden brown.
Add the fat from the pork and the bits of cooked pork to the dish.

Combine the cooked fish with the prepared
brewis and pork fat and pork to serving
bowl and serve.
